Take Control of Your ComfyUI Setup
Whether you’re creating AI art with Stable Diffusion or managing complex workflows, ComfyUI Manager provides a simple way to install, update, and manage everything — models, nodes, and workflows — without ever touching the terminal. This application, designed for both beginners and advanced users, saves you the time and effort of manually managing directories. Focus on creating rather than configuring.
What is ComfyUI Manager?
ComfyUI Manager is a free and open-source plugin suite that enhances the ComfyUI experience. It makes it easier to handle files, organize models, and track workflows. Consider it your personalized dashboard for all things Stable Diffusion in ComfyUI.
No more lost JSONs, broken node paths, or manually downloading LoRA and VAE files. ComfyUI Manager provides a simple, visual interface that allows you to:
- Install and manage models with one click (Checkpoints, LoRA, VAE, Embeddings)
- Browse and tag your workflows with visual previews
- Track, enable, or disable custom nodes
- Back up your entire setup — nodes, models, configs — in seconds
- Catch errors early with logs and compatibility checks
It’s the missing UI layer that transforms how you use ComfyUI.
Why ComfyUI Manager Exists?
The ComfyUI environment is strong yet scary. Managing dozens of custom nodes, several model kinds, and hundreds of saved workflows may result in:
- Confusing folder structures
- Broken paths from moved or renamed files
- Slow setup when switching PCs or OSes
- Lack of visibility into what’s installed and active
ComfyUI Manager addresses all of these issues by implementing a uniform administration interface, allowing your creative process to continue uninterrupted.
